I only owned one dog all my life as a kid, he was just called Boy, yes Boy! Here Boy, here Boy.
Hank Snow's mother -in -law (Mrs Alders )gave him to me and he hung on our back porch for more then ten years.

I first saw Hank Snow about 1950 driving down Duke of Kent Street combing his hair in his yellow Cadillac, coming home from Tennessee to visit his in-laws. Minnie Snow (Alders) his wife, happened to be in Halifax when my mother died and came to her funeral.
